Marissa Mayer unveils Dazzle, a camera-roll–centered personal AI assistant
Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has unveiled Dazzle, a personal AI assistant that builds user context primarily from a phone’s camera roll; the app (backed by an $8 million seed round) can parse recent photos for tasks like populating calendars and suggest personalized activities and gifts by mining photo history. Mayer says Dazzle prioritizes privacy by discarding flagged sensitive information, and the product complements — rather than duplicates — other assistants that rely on text-heavy data sources.
